Ben Nevis
LochaberBritain's highest mountain and one of Scotland's most iconic days in the hills. A serious outing with huge views from the summit when the weather plays ball.
Scotland's highest mountains are calling. Whether you're chasing your first summit or working your way towards the full list, here's your starting point for exploring the Munros around the Highlands.
Munros are Scotland's mountains over 3,000 feet (914 metres). There are currently 282 of them, scattered across some of the country's most spectacular mountain landscapes.
For some people, Munro bagging means working through the whole list. For others, it's simply an excuse to get into the hills, find a good route and earn a cracking view from the top.
Either way, you don't need to be chasing all 282. Pick a mountain that suits you, plan properly and enjoy the day.
Search by mountain or filter by area to find a Munro that takes your fancy. This is a growing selection of Highland favourites.
